ACCESS TO THIS MICROSITE MAY BE RESTRICTED UNDER SECURITIES LAWS IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS. THIS NOTICE REQUIRES YOU TO CONFIRM CERTAIN MATTERS (INCLUDING THAT YOU ARE NOT RESIDENT IN SUCH A JURISDICTION), BEFORE YOU MAY OBTAIN ACCESS TO THE MICROSITE. THE MICROSITE IS NOT DIRECTED AT, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE ACCESSIBLE BY, PERSONS RESIDENT IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF THAT JURISDICTION OR WOULD RESULT IN A REQUIREMENT TO COMPLY WITH CONSENT OR OTHER FORMALITY WHICH CHARTER COURT REGARDS AS UNDULY ONEROUS.

THIS MICROSITE CONTAINS ANNOUNCEMENTS, DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION (THE “INFORMATION”) PUBLISHED BY OSB AND CHARTER COURT RELATING TO THE PROPOSED COMBINATION IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS (THE “CODE”) TO BE IMPLEMENTED BY MEANS OF A SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT. THE INFORMATION IS BEING MADE AVAILABLE IN GOOD FAITH AND FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY, AND ITS AVAILABILITY IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT BELOW.

Please read this notice carefully - it applies to all persons who view the Microsite and, depending upon who you are and where you live, it may affect your rights. This notice and the information contained herein may be altered or updated from time to time and should be read in full carefully each time you visit this part of the website. In addition, the contents of the Microsite may be amended at any time, in whole or in part, at our sole discretion.

Nothing on the Microsite, nor anything which can be downloaded from it, is intended to, and does not, constitute or form any part of an offer for sale or subscription or any solicitation for any offer to purchase or subscribe for any securities, or the solicitation of any votes attaching to securities which are the subject of the Proposed Combination in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

The full terms and conditions of the Proposed Combination will be set out in the formal Scheme Document. In deciding whether or not to vote in favour of the Offer, Charter Court shareholders should rely only on the information contained in the formal Scheme Document.

Terms defined in the announcement of the Proposed Combination dated 14 March 2019 shall have the same meaning when used in this notice.

Overseas Persons

Viewing the Information you are seeking to access may not be lawful in certain jurisdictions. In other jurisdictions, only certain categories of person may be allowed to view the Information. Any persons outside the United Kingdom who wish to view the Information must first satisfy themselves that they are not subject to any local requirements that prohibit or restrict them from doing so and should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements applicable in their jurisdiction.

The Information must not be released or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, in or into Canada, Japan, Australia or the Republic of South Africa or any other restricted jurisdiction.

If you are not a resident of or located in a restricted jurisdiction, you may access any communication or document in relation to the Proposed Combination but you are responsible for first satisfying yourself as to the full observance of the laws and regulatory requirements of your jurisdiction.

Notice to US Investors

The Proposed Combination is being made to acquire the securities of an English company by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English law. A transaction implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules of the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Proposed Combination is subject to disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the UK to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of US tender offer rules. Also, the financial information included in this Microsite has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. If OSB exercises its right in the future to implement the Proposed Combination by way of a takeover offer, that offer will be made in compliance with the applicable US laws and regulations.

It may be difficult for US holders of Charter Court shares to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws, since OSB and Charter Court are located in a country other than the United States, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a country other than the United States. US holders of Charter Court shares may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s judgement.

Any securities referred to in the Information have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or to US Persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. The new OSB shares to be offered in the Proposed Combination are expected to be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof.

Basis of access

The Information is made available in good faith and does not constitute an offer to sell or otherwise dispose of or an invitation or solicitation of any offer to purchase or subscribe for any securities pursuant to the Proposed Combination or otherwise in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

The Information has been prepared for the purposes of complying with English law and the Code and the Information may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this information had been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction outside of England and Wales.

The information contained on this Microsite speaks only at the date of the relevant document or announcement reproduced on this Microsite, and Charter Court has, and accepts, no responsibility or duty to update any such information, document or announcement and reserves the right to add to, remove or amend any information reproduced on this Microsite at any time.

Similarly, copies of the contents of the following pages (including documents posted thereon) are not being, and must not be, released or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into a restricted jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not distribute or send them in, into or from a restricted jurisdiction.

If you are not permitted to view materials on this Microsite or are in any doubt as to whether you are permitted to view these materials, please exit this Microsite and seek independent advice. Neither OSB nor any of its advisors nor Charter Court nor any of its advisers, assumes any responsibility for any violation by any person of any of these restrictions.

Responsibility

In relation to any document, announcement or information contained in the Microsite, the only responsibility accepted by the directors of Charter Court is for the correctness and fairness of its reproduction or presentation unless a responsibility statement in any relevant document expressly provides otherwise.

Neither the directors of Charter Court, nor any of its affiliated companies, have reviewed, and no such person is or shall be responsible for or accepts any liability in respect of, any information contained on any other website which may be linked to this Microsite by a third party.

Forward-looking statements

Information in this section of the website contains certain forward-looking statements, beliefs or opinions, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of OSB and/or Charter Court. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipate”, “target”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “goal”, “believe”, “hope”, “aims”, “continue”, “will”, “may”, “should”, “would”, “could”, or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Charter Court, and/or OSB in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this document could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and you are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of the relevant information. Neither Charter Court nor OSB assumes any obligation to update or correct the information contained in this section of the website (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise), except as required by applicable law.

There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements are the satisfaction of the Conditions to the Proposed Combination and changes in global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or dispositions.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, no statement contained or referred to in this Microsite is intended to be a profit forecast.
